Michael McDonald Returns To Music

Michael McDonald has returned to the recording studio and will release his first new album in 9 years.
The album, Wide Open, will be available on September 15th. Michael recorded in Nashville but don’t expect it to sound like a typical country album, or any of his other music.
In an interview with Noisey, he says: “This record is a different kind of record for me. It’s a very eclectic record; there’s no real fixed genre to it. It’s got kind of a weird, multi-textural feeling to it.”
Michael says some of the songs are “kind of rock, some of them are R&B.” Sounds like a little bit of everything.
As any musician knows, if you release a new album, you’ve gotta go on tour to promote it, and Michael is doing just that with several dates beginning on June 10th.
